Dr. Travis Fleming
Senior Pastor
Travis, his wife Jenna, and their three kiddos moved to Gallatin back in June, and they love being here! Travis is originally from Greenville, SC, and Jenna is from Ft. Lauderdale. They first met in seminary in Louisville, KY, and they married after they graduated when the Lord allowed their paths to cross again. Travis and Jenna love the local church, and they both feel like First Gallatin is a loving and mission minded congregation. When not in the office, Travis can be found hanging out with his family, tackling a new project at their home, working out, exploring Sumner County or cheering on a team that wears orange. 🙂
